can you rinse the produce through these bags?

You probably could, but I wouldn't recommend it. The bags can get wet and line dry well, but I don't know how clean the produce would get enclosed in the bags.

You certainly could, but then you wouldn't have good air flow and I think it would leave a mess in your refrigerator. It would not be my recommendation. However, I have considered (but not yet tried) using one for a extra large nut milk bag...why not? The size is great for a double batch and they wash and dry well on a rack.

I would think you could, but beware, as the quality is lacking...these bags are made out of very fine, very thin mesh.

Yes they are. I have reused mine several times. I do keep one for fruit and a different one for veggies. They wash up (by hand, I use a bit of dish soap) well. I haven't done anything like beets, so not sure if it would 'dye' the bag or not. Hope this helps

Yes you can. However this is a terrible product. The oranges and fruit in water ate at the plastic and it looked dirty all the time. After about 2 mo. The plAstic cracked and leaked. I would not recommend it.

Yes you can, however it's just hard to burp the air out of the bags in the bigger bottles. Don't recommend it!

I would think that fruit flies could enter the bag. Even if the weave is tight enough to restrict them, the draw string top doesn't really provide a good enough barrier. These are some of the highest quality bags that I could find - use them for green coffee beans but couldn't be sure about produce and different types of produce would make a difference also.

I think so. It has been mentioned in the instructions. But they're so small items they don't need go through dishwasher. Just rinse off and air dry would be enough.

Yes. They can be removed. What I don't know though is whether replacement bags could be purchased when it's become washed to death.

Maybe. The bags are strong enough to be used twice but would be harder to get clean.

I did not try them except in the crisper bins. I did use them on the counter for tomatoes, bananas, etc. I was not impressed with the product. The green bags that I bought work so much better.

You can, I guess, but the results will probably not be very good. The idea behind the bag isn't just that it's designed to fit the container. It's also built to hold the diapers (way more than a grocery bag) and it helps control the smell. Grocery bags are not nearly as strong as these, and they are more porous, meaning they are far more likely to rip, leak, or both. You're better off taking your old grocery bags back to the grocery store as most will recycle them. Look for the recycling bin, usually right near the entrance of the store.

I wash and reuse bags that have had non-meat, non-greasy, non-tomato food in them. As to your second question, why would you do that? Their purpose is to remove air, thus protecting the contents from drying out, freezer burn, etc.

No you can't, they have a special place to seal. They are extremely durable & I put things in a cheap baggie and then in the heavy duty re-seal bags from Waring, sounds counter-intuitive, but they wash out easier. I have yet to order additional bags. They wash out very well and last.

The bags would work well. You may still have to clean yur filter, but the vac with the peper bags inside works well and picks up just about anything.

Yes, these apples work for me. I keep my greens in a vegetable drawer in the fridge that has a lever to allow more or less air in and out (to control humidity for different kinds of produce). Therefore there is some air interchange but not an unrestricted flow. If you have to store your produce in plastic bags, I'd make sure they were fairly thick ones, not the flimsy ones the store gives out because they are likely to cling to the leaves and prevent air from circulating between the veggies and the apple. Or you might want to invest in a largish plastic bin with a lid.

Yes. You should do that anyway. Unless I'm doing load after load, I hang the bags up to dry after a load of washing.
